Tea and cakes at the Primrose were followed by an excursion through some interesting lanes near Moretonhampstead, which led us up some rather steep hills to the top of the famous Fingle track. A hair-raising descent and an equally hilly ascent brought us to the Hunters' Path, from where the glorious heather and spectacular views were enjoyed over lunch.

The next destination was the wonderful tea-room at Chagford, at which Andrew had last year found himself paying for three cream teas after ordering only one! In order to verify that this was in fact just an unusual mistake, we tried again today, only to find a menu which offered just two items: cream teas at £1.25 or cream teas at £2.25! Extensive negotiations eventually yielded an agreement to provide fruit juice and cakes as separate items, subject to a minimum charge of 70p per head, but he could not say exactly what it would cost. And when the two ordered cream teas arrived with six scones we challenged again, only to discover that he thought we had ordered three! When the time came to pay, he presented us with a bill for £5.95 and then failed to reproduce his calculations when asked for a breakdown! Cyclists beware!

Return via Jay's Grave was relatively uneventful.
